[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 361251, member: 3820"] Yeah but I still gotta work, lots of driving and with a little bit of luck I'll get some time for detecting every now and then. The good thing is I get to see a lot of the country side travelling to and from jobs, my first week saw me at the depot Monday, Corio Tuesday, Avoca Wednesday (and itching to get back as the sub station site is cut into private land with quartz gravels right around the cut, 2 quartz veins on the back cut and shallow alluvial across the other side of the paddock, perfect for the Makro GR to detect around the sub station easement) Horsham Thursday with a overnight stay at Halls Gap then Stawell on Friday. 1600kms in my first week, glad they supply the vehicle and pay fuel. In total if I had the Makro with me I would be lucky to of had 1-2 hrs spare to detect but come Summer I'll stay out for a few hours and head home late. In that first week I managed to mark a few spots to return and visit when I get time, seen some diggings along the travels and mark them on my gps and research when I get home. I'd swap jobs with you though Nenad, I never get enough time to go detecting :P [/QUOTE]
